What fun it was for a writer to see how ch... more

That storyboard article is interesting for a non-illustrator. A lot of it can be applied to writing, too.

Kit...
Thought so. Yep, the 'undo' button is a godsend... Apart from my pencil and ink work, most of my coloured illustrations are now rendered digitally, I wouldn't have it any other way for speed and 'mistakes'.
take care, Aaron.
